Asteriski ry (*) is an association of students of computer science at the University of Turku, founded in 1972. Asteriski has over 400 members. The association’s current home i.e. the office is located in the basement of the Agora building on Vesilinnantie.
The association’s activities are based on caring for its members and promoting their studies. In the Department of Computing, the association is an active advocate of the interests of students and a link between the department and the students. The aim is to improve student relations and solve problems related to studying. The main channels for advocacy are the student representatives in the departmental council and the academic affairs groups.
The association is also active in maintaining relations with other subject associations, unions and industry companies. For example, Asteriski is represented in both the Association of ICT Professionals TIVIA and the Association of IT Students TiTOL and actively collaborates with the unions Tekniikan akateemiset TEK and the Union of Professionals in Natural, Environmental and Forestry Sciences Loimu. For new students, the association is above all a source of information and encouragement to get their studies off to a smooth start.
Free time is an integral part of a student’s life. To this end, the association organises events for its members outside normal study hours, such as parties, sits, sauna evenings and the Pre-Christmas Party. Additionally, Asteriski organises various sports and culture events as well as company visits. The goal is to offer as wide a range of activities as possible to suit the interests of our members. See the events calendar for more information on events.
